The 2023-2024 NBA Season

[Stakesarehigh]

Miles and another guy might be your best bet.

You have like 50-55 mill in cap space?

yessir as of now

 

[The Q]

Supporting what?

These pieces you’re bragging about will be long gone by 2025. DFS will be gone. Royce O’Neal will be gone. Dinwiddie will be gone. They have 3 legitimate pieces on a championship roster and they would be the 3rd, 4th, and 6th piece on a roster in Mikal, Cam Johnson, and Claxton.

That’s a road to nowhere. They should blow it up.

It’s hard to blow it up when you don’t own your pick for a while.

They should trade guys like some of the ones you mentioned leaving

Restock so you can make some big swings

yessir as of now

You don't have to call me sir.

But, don't call me Shirley either.

 

[Stakesarehigh]

They have a better supporting Cast than the sixers but embiid or maxey

They have a bunch of suns firsts and swaps to play with plus cam Thomas (I’m low man on him but teams seem to keep asking) and will have absurd cap space in the summer of 2025

They have a window to make a move

Cam Thomas is only slightly more composed than Jordan Poole.

If he made even a moderate effort to play within the offense he'd be okay there...but defensively he's still a dumpster fire.

Yep. We’re talking about this time lacking an alpha and he has that kind of offensive talent.

Yet…

Dude is often asked to come off the bench or even sat? Huh? He must not only lack ability to play NBA defense he must be useless in rotations and have no ability to even contribute to team defense. If defense of Cam though all he’s had is shitty coaches and rotten vets that have no desire to help a kid like him so far in his career.

After Thomas moved into the starting lineup for Finney-Smith on Dec. 2 and stayed there through Wednesday, that unit was outscored by 66 points in 140 minutes over a dozen games.

No other quintet in the league was outscored by more than 34.

Their Net Rating of minus-29.4 was the worst of any unit that logged at least 35 minutes entering Sunday.


Now...as you say in his defense this lineup involved Dinwiddie guarding 4s (lol)

 

[Shanemansj13]

Knicks? For what and why?

 

[Shanemansj13]

What kind of return is Mark bringing to Utah? They probably only trade him for 2 1st’s or a young player and 1st huh?

More firsts than that….

Vaughn might be a worse coach than Ham....

 

[DJ]

Knicks? For what and why?

The Heat should go after him hard.

Jimmy would love playing with him.

 

[Shanemansj13]

More firsts than that….

2 1st’s and a swap. Danny wants 5 1st’s I am sure

Siakam like return imo…

 

[DJ]

More firsts than that….

Yeah.

Ainge will want 4, at least 3.

Rozier a better fit for them

 

[DJ]

Rozier a better fit for them

Yeah....I can agree with that but DD isn't a bad addition IMO.

I’ve posted this nonsense for so long on the Sixers here you guys could probably rattle off what Sixers need around Embiid and Maxey now.

Shooting
Defense

DeRozan gives them neither. This is a Colangelo Brett Brown move. Just got get a “name” and fuck the fit. Joel Embiid already owns every area of the floor DeRozan wants to work as a midrange guy who shoots the 3 at like 32/33%.

GTFO with this shit. I’m just glad it’s Amico. That guy is retarded and just stealing money. Most of his shit he floats never comes to fruition.

Wiggy loves him.....or he did back in the day.

LOL.

I think that’s cheap. If he were on the market, he’d be the best asset out there. All Star that can lead or defer on a sub $20 million per year deal.

 

[fightinfunbags]

Yeah I saw him linked to Heat earlier today. That would be a great piece for the Heat. They would clear the Sixers and the Bucks in my eyes if they get Rozier. They can do that for Lowry’s expiring, a first, and maybe a swap. Charlotte can take on some excess money in a deal like this. Heat can get better and save money too haha.
